Underground Fire Protection Services in Northern California

In California, underground piping is typically made of PVC, cement, or ductile iron. It’s connected to a city’s water main, water storage tank, or some other reliable water supply and, depending on the region where it’s installed, has varied minimum bury depth requirements. Fire protection systems, such as underground fire sprinklers, underground fire piping, and underground fire lines, are critical fire safety components. They ensure safe, effective, and National Fire Protection Association-compliant measures that protect your property and the people in it.

Keep Your Property Safe

Underground Fire Sprinklers

Automatic fire sprinkler system with red pipesFire sprinkler underground piping is dedicated to your property’s fire sprinkler system. Running from the sprinkler riser to the final valve, its sizing depends on available water, the square footage of the property, and hydraulic calculations. When determining pipe size, future structural expansion should always be considered.

As each Northern California community has its specific guidelines and minimum requirements for dedicated underground fire sprinkler piping, it’s essential to hire a fire protection services company with the experience and expertise needed to provide adequate life safety and asset protection solutions.

Underground Fire Piping

Concrete, ductile iron, high-density polyethylene, copper, and stainless steel are all permitted by the NFPA for underground fire piping. HDPE plastic piping is often used in areas where seismic inputs are a consideration. Factors like soil corrosion potential often determine which type of underground fire piping is installed.

Northern California municipalities each have their own standards for installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of underground fire piping. Foothill Fire Protection has the knowledge and expertise needed to meet local, state, and federal pipe and trench requirements, hydrant requirements, and all other general underground fire piping requirements set forth by the NFPA and local fire departments.

  • Fireline repairs
  • Fireline designs and installations
  • Underground piping flow tests
